The energy transition can benefit Europe's regions, says the EESC

The transition to decentralised, renewable and digitalised forms of energy supply would not only have positive effects on the environment, it would also economically benefit the regions of the European Union. In its own-initiative opinion drafted by Lutz Ribbe, the EESC points out that there are at least four reasons why smart energy production would provide economic benefits at regional level and asks the European Commission to systematically link the future regional and social cohesion policy to the Energy Union initiative.

EESC calls for a new and more integrated approach in transport

Transport plays a key enabling role in realising sustainable development. It contributes to the economy, trade and employment, but, on the other hand, it may face issues relating to the environment, traffic and safety. In its own-initiative opinion drafted by Tellervo Kylä-Harakka-Ruonala, the EESC reviews the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and, by providing a cross-cutting approach where the economic, social and environmental aspects come together, urges the Commission to prepare a new and integrated framework for future EU transport policy.

The members of the EESC Section for Transport, Energy, Infrastructure, and Information Society held a debate on the recently published a proposal for an implementing regulation on common methodology for alternative fuels unit price comparison in accordance with Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council. Mr Tricas Aizpun from the European Commission opened the debate with a presentation of the proposal, highlighting how a common methodology can facilitate a comparison between conventional and alternative fuel prices in an easy manner and thus help building consumer awareness about the relative prices using different fuels for vehicles.

"EESC Energy Days" - Amending gas directive raises concerns among stakeholders

The second "Energy Day" organised by the EESC in Brussels, on 8 March 2018, looked at the forthcoming changes to the current Gas Directive. In its proposal, the European Commission maintains that gas pipelines from and to third countries should comply with the core principles of existing EU legislation. Some civil society organisations, though, highlight the uncertainty that this new text would bring in legal, commercial and environmental terms.
